NSUF 18-1277: Interfacial Effects, Damage and Recovery in Binary Carbides
Through the application of in situ examination of induced radiation damage and recovery, this proposal will develop enhanced understanding of the effects of damage, and the effects from gas bubble formation in binary carbides. Applying such a methodology in a range of binary carbide hybrids, allows for inter, and for that matter intra, granular effects of damage/bubble formation to be examined. The systems studied in this process are based on SiC-TiC across a series of grain sizes, prepared using spark plasma synthesis based techniques, and builds upon previous work in this area. The results obtained here will shed new light on how such materials behave on the inter/intragranular scale and indicate further if such materials are viable for use within future nuclear reactor technologies.
